Airport To Downtown By Bts

[JaiLai]

How does this work, where do you get the BTS at the airport? How often do the trains run? Do you need to change anywhere to get to Suk rd? Is it worth the hassle or is a taxi better / quicker?

Thanks.

There is a train station in the basement of the airport that runs to Phaya Thai station - there are two services, one is the city line that stops at every station and the other is an express serivice that stops only at the terminal stations. The Sukhumvit BTS line serves Phaya Thai, so for Sukhumvit road change to that (in the Bearing direction) and get off at which ever stop is the best for you.

its not good especially if you have luggage. I use taxi's even if travelling without luggage for the sake of a couple of hundred baht

^I see your point, but it depends on the time of day. There's no way I'm taking a taxi from the airport at 6:00 on a Friday night.

I agree, sounds like a proper ball ache.
